Why AI Is Obsessed With Em Dashes

We pull back the curtain on the AI obsession with Em dashes, exploring how prestige bias in training data and safety constraints shape model output. Learn why the next-word predictor treats a dash as a cheap, universal connector—costing no keystroke friction—versus a human’s labor, and what that reveals about how these models think. A practical deep dive for writers, developers, and curious readers into the future of AI-generated prose.
